Destruction is not the path to reform, despite what the tea partiers say.
If it weren't for 40b, mosaic commons (http://www.mosaic-commons.org) wouldn't exist.
Yes the law needs reform. Push for reform then. Don't push for repeal.
"Rife with fraud"? Show me the prosecutions then? If a crime has bene committed, then it should be prosecuted. Is it the fault of the law that it wasn't pursued? I doubt it.
"For my town to reach it's 40b goals through 40b alone, we'd have to double the amount of housing in the town overall" - that's an absurd statement. 40b requires 10% of the houses in an area to be affordable. Show me the math where you have to 'double the amount of housing in the town' to make that possible.
